Requirements
- Our efforts contribute to OpenAI's overarching goal of developing AI that benefits humanity.
- About the Role As a Quantitative Intelligence Analyst, you will focus on discovering novel and emerging risks in complex human–AI systems before they are well-defined, measurable, or widely understood.
- experience in quantitative intelligence analysis, trust & safety, security analysis, or risk-focused research - Are comfortable working on complex trust and safety domains such as child safety, violent activities, self-harm, or similar high-stakes risk areas - Familiarity with data mining, statistical modeling, and supervised learning methods - Understand how to monitor signals or models for data drift, behavioral adaptation, or performance degradation over time, and can diagnose likely causes -
- Experience in operationalizing adversarial or strategic risk behaviors, including through red-team exercises, agent-based modeling, or structured scenario analyses - Comfortable working with Python and SQL - Nice to have:

- About the Team The Intelligence and Investigations team seeks to rapidly identify and mitigate abuse and strategic risks to ensure a safe online ecosystem.
- We are dedicated to identifying emerging abuse trends, analyzing risks, and working with our internal and external partners to implement effective mitigation strategies to protect against misuse.
- The Strategic Intelligence & Analysis (SIA) team provides safety intelligence for OpenAI’s products by monitoring, analyzing, and forecasting real-world abuse, geopolitical risks, and strategic threats.
- Our work informs safety mitigations, product decisions, and partnerships, ensuring OpenAI’s tools are deployed securely and responsibly across critical sectors.
- You will use deep subject matter expertise and quantitative tooling to surface weak, early, and unconventional risk signals.
- You will build analytic models that explain how harms could emerge and translate ambiguous patterns into structured, data-driven insight.
- Your work will help identify potential gaps in policy or coverage and operationalize previously unmeasured problems into signals that can support detection, mitigation, and planning downstream.
- You will develop analytical frameworks that map how new risks form, evolve, and propagate as products change, policies shift, and external events unfold.
- Your analyses will directly inform strategic risk prioritization and planning across the company, with regular visibility through strategic risk products.
- This role is based in office (hybrid, 3 days/week).
